Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Nov 14, 2019 12:23 pm We've moved into a double storey house, built I think early 2010s, probably 2013 I'm guessing. Unfortunately, the ensuite upstairs, bathroom upstairs and laundry (ground floor) all don't have floor waste pipes built in. I understand that for 99% of the time we are safe from flooding...the only real potential threat I see is the washing machine somehow leaking or the upstairs bathroom overflowing from the kids by accident. I'm not too concerned about the ensuite as it's just me and the Mrs and there is no bathtub anyway. Can this be retrofitted somehow? Upstairs I wouldn't expect an issue but the Laundry is a bit of a tough ask? It's a concrete floor. Thanks. Re: No floor waste in wet areas - problem? 2Nov 15, 2019 1:21 pm None of the new houses I have seen around here have floor wastes. Anything is possible but i guess it would be expensive, as you will need to remove tiles, cut into concrete (what about the reinforcing??), join up waste pipe to plumbing somewhere, then relevel and retile with a slope draining towards the hole Re: No floor waste in wet areas - problem? 3Nov 17, 2019 2:40 am judder We've moved into a double storey house, built I think early 2010s, probably 2013 I'm guessing.

Re: No floor waste in wet areas - problem? 4Nov 19, 2019 12:05 pm "It will smell. Regardless if it has the u bend." Not true. If you have water in the floor waste you won't get sewer smells. They only usually smell when a not often used bathroom waste dries out. Stewie All sorted guys. Just needed to buy a blade with the correct bush.
